Tata Steel is collaborating with the UK government and unions to invest in skill development for workers affected by the modernisation of its Port Talbot plant. The company is transitioning to a low-emission electric arc furnace (EAF) process, resulting in job losses of around 2,500 people. The EAF project aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 5 million tonnes per annum, ensure continuity of steelmaking in Port Talbot, and preserve most jobs.
